the Rotary Oub
The subject discussed at the Ro
tary Club yesterday was as follows:
4fWhat Can I Do for Rotary, and
Through Rotary for my Commun
ity?"
Rotarians believe that the teach
ings of the club lead its members
to have a very broad conception
of the word "community." This
word may mean the place of one's
residence, or it may comprehend
one's, state, one's nation and the
. Whole world.
S While Rotarians believe in the
Ideal of planetary patriotism, they
very intensely believe that with
out disparagement to~ other places,
one should be very keenly inter
ested in his own community and
loyal to its every interest; that one
should be loyal to a community in
which'he lives, or live in a com
munity to which he feels that he
^aiay be loyal.
. With this conception in view the
Rotarians believe that they will
best meet the demands of their
club when they do most for the
best interest of their community.
At present the Rotary Club is
very much interested in those who!
are attending schools and colleges.!
The members would like, to see j
every boy and girl in some goodj
school, and every young man and \
young.woman who can afford it inj
attendance upon some good college.
These were the two themes that
Were dsicussed at yesterday's meet

Pisgah. Aug. 28.?Last week was
a fine one to save fodder and the'
farmers made good use of it. This
section will have an- abundance of
rough feed for next year. We have
the finest pea vines I have ever seen
and if the crop can be successfully
saved it will add much to the bene
fit of the people. Corn, and pota
toes are. good too. The boll weevil
got in his work during August. The
finest cotton went down under his
attacks. Cotton that had been
poisoned three or four times and
the squares picked up, will only,
make 200 or 300 pounds of lint1
cotton per acre. This is bank
ruptcy to the agriculture classes,
for people can't pay their debts
and live long this way.

??NTY NEWS I
Notes of City
Public Schools
j Lists of Text-books Issued.
Just as Few Changes as
Practicable.
j The lists of textbooks to be used j
j in the city public schools were is
sued Wednesday. Just as few
changes as practicable have been
made in these lists. There are
j some of the books that are used
I several years from grade to grade,
j These have not been changed at
j all.
I There is a law of the state of
j South Carolina that requires a re
tad Option of text books every five
years. The State Board of Educa
tion knew, therefore, that at some
time before the first of July, 1922,
this adoption would have to be
made. On account of conditions
everywhere the board anticipated j
that when this adoption should be
made there would be a marked ad
vance in the price of textbooks; for
under the terms of the contracts
with the' publishers 'books were
being- sold below the cost of pro
duction.
With these two things in mind
the board at a meeting heid last
summer requested the secretary of!
the board to ascertain from the
' publishers of all of the text-books
on the state list whether or not it
would be possible tc renew all con
tracts for five years without in
crease in the price of the books.
With practically no exceptions the
publishers replied that a renewal
of their contracts on that basis was
>^>ut of the question. While antici
pating this refusal, the board felt
(that every effort should be made
jto prevent as far as possible any:
? increase irt.the price of text-books
for the pupils of our state. > j
j The board anticipated a refusal j
j because there were facts that clear- j
jly indicated that, just as soon asi
the present contracts should ex-1
fpire. there would be in South Car- [
j olina a noticeable advance in the !
(price of text-books. For five years j
the book contracts that went into j
effect on the first day of July 1917,
have saved to the' people of South
^Carolina thousands of dollars. To,
cite three- illustrations from the
scores that are available: One. 01
the primers was sold to the chil-*
dren of South Carolina for one- [
third of the cost of the same book
in other states. The geography*
brought twice as much in New
York City as_ in South Carolina, j
The paper required to make and }
bind one of the arithemetics was I
at one time worth more than the j
books werfe, "befng sold for. to the
pupils of our st^ue. " * -
There is no wonder that the -
board of education anticipated an I
! indrease in the price of text-books!
[ and there is no surprise to anyone I
[who has noted the cost of other
j commodities that this anticipation j
[should have been realized. During
I the past five years a text-book was j
[the only article of trade in South j
[Carolina whose price did not mark
jedly increase. The only preventive
[of the increase of price of the text
I books used in South Carolina wa?
j the contract that the state had i
i with the publishers, through its
j board of ; education,
j In arranging the list of books for
j the city every possible consid
[eration for the patrons has been
I shown, consistent with the demands
i of a pew period of adoption.
FEW MILLS j
USE COAL!
Majority of Piedmont Cotton I
Mills Are Operated by Elec-j
tricity
Charlotte, N. C, August 30?
I While the possibility of an en- |
! forced shutdown of many textile j
\ mills in the Carolinas within the"'
j next two or three weeks looms
larger daily, most of the mills in j
j the Piedmont sections of the two j
I states operate exclusively on hy
dro-electric power and therefore i
'are not menaced by the growing,
scarcity of fuel, according to men
familiar with the situation.
Many of the mills operated by
hydro-electric power use some coal
but comparatively little, it is point
ed out. Of this class is the Chad
wick -Hoskins Company's large I
chain of mills. E. C. Dwelle, sec- I
retary of this company, said to- j
night that their plants have enough
coal on hand to last only two or
three weeks. According to Win
some D. Adams, secretary of the
American Cotton Manufacturers'
association, this condition is typi
cal of that of the electrically driv
en mills of this section generally.
It was said by the officials that
very ne:iriy no coal is being re
ceived by any mills in this section
and unless the situation is relieved
somewhat in a week or two cur
tailment of operation on the part
of many mills will be necessary.
Only one mill, the Lancaster Cotton
mills. J.ancaster, S. <'., thus far
has been reported closed on ac
count of the coal shortage. This
company employs around 1,500
workers. It closed last Saturday.
It was pointed out that of the
1 ,<H?0 or more textile plants of all
kinds in the two Carolinas, 243.
mostly in the Piedmont sections, ;
use hydro-elcetric power exclu-j
sively, while 295 use steam power
according to the latest available
statistics.
Xo general shutdown of electri
cally driven plnats is expected,
according to local textile, workers.
The reason so many women
think their place is not in the home
is so many men think it is in the
kitchen.

Meeting of the
Executive Committee1
of Business League!
The officers and captains of the
Business League met Wednesday!
afternoon and considered many
matters. Chief among the topics!
was the coming Booster trip to ,
Pinewood. date of which has been \
finally set for Wednesday, Septem
ber 6th. President P. M. Parrott
with W. R. Plowden and .lohn
Buck were appointed a committee
with full power to arrange all de
tails connected with the trip; and
to appoint sub-committees to help
carry out the same.
After a discussion of county fair
matters it was decided that the
League would gladly assist in secur
ing subscriptions to capital stock,
but that the League could not un
dertake to handle the entire can
vass of Sumter for this purpose.
The matter of further farm de
monstration work in connection
with the crop diversification pro
gram was informally discussed.
It was called to the attention of
the gathering that there were still
several hundred copies of the Sur-'j
veys on hand and additional names
were asked for to be used in the
intelligent distribution of the same.

Looking to September 12
The battle in thr second primary
between the Blease and McLeod j
forces will be first for the ballots
which In the first primary, went to :
the other candidates for Governor
and then to bring out the vote
which was not cast last Tuesday.'
This vote is not f&r from 50,000 j
r?nd it is known that in Charleston
scores of voters who would have,'
voted for McLeod if they had been i
here were away. Their ballots will j
go far toward carrying the election j
on September 12 if they are cast,;
as it is believed that many of them |
will be.
McLeod supporters look upon the
vote cast for other candidates'
? Tuesday as almost an entirely anti
I B lease vote.
I A study of the returns by coun
ities in the Governor's race shows
that while Mr. Blease bad a plu
rality in a considerable number of
ounties he had a majority in only
aeven counties?Aiken, Cherokee;
Oconee, Charleston, Saluda, York
and Pickens?with five counties
doubtful, these vbeing Berkeley,
